³²The houses of Levites, which are in cities, may always be redeemed.

³³If they be not redeemed, in the jubilee they shall all return to the owners: because the houses of the cities of the Levites are for their possessions among the children of Israel.

³⁴But let not their suburbs be sold, because it is a perpetual possession.

³⁵If thy brother be impoverished, and weak of hand, and thou receive him as a stranger and sojourner, and he live with thee:

³⁶Take not usury of him nor more than thou gavest. Fear thy God, that thy brother may live with thee.

³⁷Thou shalt not give him thy money upon usury: nor exact of him any increase of fruits.

³⁸I am the Lord your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, that I might give you the land of Chanaan, and might be your God.

³⁹If thy brother constrained by poverty, sell himself to thee: thou shalt not oppress him with the service of bondservants.

⁴⁰But he shall be as a hireling, and a sojourner: he shall work with thee until the year of the jubilee.

⁴¹And afterwards he shall go out with his children: and shall return to his kindred and to the possession of his fathers.
